>>22687942blonde hair is a polygenetic trait first found in only neolithic europeans
so saying "blonde hair comes from X" is misleading
>>22687944literally copy pasted from wikipedia
that mutation of the KITLG gene does not give one blonde hair, it is simply ASSOCIATED with blonde hair
how come every single DNA sample with mostly ANE ancestry we have is predicted to be from a human with charcoal black hair?
Only very western admixed "EHG"'s are predicted to have had "brown hair", so not even blonde but already much lighter than their ANE ancestors
why is that?
how come the oldest ginger in the archeogenetic record is an anatolian neolithic farmer?
how come the oldest blondes are found around the baltic and not siberia?
how come the most blonde groups of humans before the iron age is a group overwhelmingly descended from anatolian farmers with some western hunter gatherer ancestry?
how come not a single ancient or modern amerindian(who have far more ANE ancestry than any european) is predicted to have had or has blonde hair?
how come pic related is the oldest DNA sample from a human predicted to have had blonde hair?
>>22687945>Arent multiple genes responsible for blonde hair?yes
same for skin and eyes
>>22687951yamnaya were overwhelmingly black/dark brown haired and brown/hazel eyed
>>22687957no, that mutation of the KITLG gene is not enough to lighten hair
every single quality ANE sample we have show up with an 99% likelihood of black, so not even brown, hair
